NAMM 2019 Korg Minilogue XD No Talking
Published on Jan 28, 2019 sonicstate
"We thought the new Minilogue XD sounded great, with a new filter, stereo FX and the 3rd digital oscillator, its got a bit more to offer than the original. We got a sounds only demo to give you an idea of the sound."
ROLAND JUNO 60 w/ MIDI
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Having previously owned a Juno 106, I can confirm that this Juno 60 sounds way better, it's fatter and warmer, great for Basses, Leads and string sounds. The Juno 60 also has an arpeggiator which the 106 lacks. The wood side panels also make the 60 look way more classy.
CONDITION: Please note there are a few knocks and scratches to the wooden sides and bottom, however the face plate, controls and keys are all in very good condition, please see my photographs for cosmetic damage, for a synth of its age it is in very good condition and plays like a dream.
Midi Retro fit: You will notice from the photos the addition of MIDI IN,THRU, OUT, a red button on the right of the face plate and ticker tape added above some of the keys. This is all part of the MIDI retro fit. I have never seen any other Juno 60 with this so I consider this to be a very rare find. This is extremely cool as it enables playing the Juno from a modern midi sequencer like Cubase/Ableton/FL Studio etc.
I have recently had it serviced (2018), the service man told me that the MIDI retrofit looks like a Groove Electronics kit, it was already fitted when I bought it back in the 90's so I cannot confirm this."

"The Analog Four is a 4 voice analog synthesizer with precision digital control. There is a sequencer per voice with total timbral control over each voice individually. It can be used as a poly synth when connected to a keyboard and all the voices can be differently set, allowing for very unique sounding polyphonic playing. This MKI unit is in great shape and includes the power, USB cable, and the original box."

Roland SH-1000

via this auction
"The SH-1000 is an early monosynth from Roland with a surprising feature set for its class of instrument. There is a single oscillator with multiple simultaneous wave shapes and octaves run through a classic typical Roland sounding resonant filter. There is a single envelope and LFO.
The interesting part of this design is the bank of switches along the bottom. Along with preset sounds along the right, there are switches for routing the ADSR and LFO or bypassing the controls and using a preset shape. This allows for independent envelope shapes for the VCF and VCA even though there is only one ADSR. Delayed vibrato is also possible with the LFO switches.
This synth has a charming design that is capable of more than it initially looks like. It has that lovely warm and heavy sound typical of early analog synthesizers.
The condition of this unit is unfortunately not as great as the design. Some of the preset switches have been broken off(fortunately the deeper function switches are all still intact). The left wood side is missing and electronics are somewhat exposed. The panel has some rust and pitting on the surface and there is a good amount of cosmetic wear throughout.
Thankfully the synth actually functions fairly well. The only real issue with the sound is the oscillator calibration. It could definitely use tweaking as octave jumps are a bit out out of tune and some pitch drift occurs when playing. Finally, some of the key contacts are worn and require a bit of pressure to sound.
This synth could be a great project and if you don't mind the condition, a fun addition to your studio setup."

Ensoniq Mirage DSK-1 Sampling Keyboard
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Mirage is a famous sampler with a fantastic gritty sound with tons of life to it, there are analog filters, keyboard split, and some other really powerful and unique features. Samples can be saved and loaded via floppy as well as recorded in through the 1/4" input. There is also an on board sequencer.
This DSK-1 is the last version they produced. This sale includes two of the original factory disk sets.
The condition of this keyboard is over all very good, there is some light cosmetic wear but the unit is fully functioning and sounds great. The only issue with this unit is the 7-segment display. Two of the sections are not lighting up as shown in the pictures. Typically the display is showing the parameter value or number which is typed in before editing so it isn't too difficult to keep track of where you are. On other functions like sequencing and loading it may be a little hard to keep track of where you are however."
